Sunflowers for the Salal Festival
What’s in a Sunflower? The bright, blooming sunflower heads are symbolic of the sun itself which represents warmth, happiness and all things positive.

Four Sunflowers
Those of you who know me well know that when the gift-giving time of the year comes around, ie: the holidays, you can expect a painting. Like it or not.

Warmth and light are things that make me feel younger, maybe because the weight of clothing subtracted, takes away the years. Our trip to Maui last November was a reward … Continue reading

I’m a Meebo style artist
In the spirit of the season, Meebo sent me Meebo stuff! Specifically, Sue Golden, who I’ve never met, but who works with my son, the new Meebo guy.
